Hello, everyone. I'm sorry to inform you that it might be a couple more days until I finish the next chapter of Cinderaven. Until then, I have a special treat for you, which I wrote today in Science. It's like a glossary of sorts, with the important characters and places in Cinderaven. Hope you like it, and don't worry, I'm working hard to finish the next chapter!

A Short Cinderaven Glossary Type Thing:
Tamborinia- A beautiful kingdom in a realm full of magic, unexplainable things, and interesting people and races. It was named after its first ruler, an intelligent, generous, kind, beautiful and humble young woman, known to historians as Queen Tammy Tamborine.
Tamaran- The city capital of the fairy world in Tamborinia. While generally quite friendly, the fairies in Tamborinia are natural warriors. However, they enjoy making people happy, so every hundred years groups of promising fairy children are taught the subtle art of Fairy Godparenting.
King Marcus Logan III- The current ruler of Tamborinia. Short of temper, especially where his only son is involved, but a nice enough man, and a good ruler.
Trigon Roth- Before his death, he was one of the wealthiest, and most respected men in Tamborinia. He was never one to leave things to the last minute, and cared about his daughter and deceased wife more than anyone else.
Raven Roth- Our clever young heroine. After her parents' untimely deaths, Raven became slightly introverted, finding it easier to deal with her abusive stepfamily when void of emotions. Deep down she has never given up hope that she will escape her stepmother's wrath and live happily ever after, although she would never admit it.
Prince Garfield Logan- The son of King Marcus Logan III. Growing up in the palace, Gar has always had a taste for adventure and mischief, whether it be exploring the palace's massive gardens, or leaving a fake snake in his bed for the chambermaid. However, he does have a slightly more serious side, especially when around a certain violet-haired girl.
Victor Stone, Official Advisor- The youngest King's advisor in the history of Tamborinia. Victor is barely nineteen, but definitely qualified for his job, equipped with a good ear for listening, and wisdom beyond his years. As the unofficial best friend of prince Gar, he has been known to pull a few pranks in his time.
Sir Robin the Leader, Captain of the Guard- Captain of the palace guard. After disobeying direct orders during a battle, which in the end caused him to single-handedly save hundred of Tamborinians, he was given a prestigious knighthood and was soon named captain of the palace guard when the previous one decided to retire.
Kori'ander (English translation: Starfire)- A charming fairy god mother. One of the youngest fairies in her graduating class, Starfire is still mastering her long distance aim, but is quite skilled for her young age of one hundred and seventy. Though still learning English, and slightly naïve to human customs, Starfire is far from stupid.
Melinda Hopkins-Roth- Second wife of Trigon Roth. Melinda easily fills the role of 'Evil Stepmother'. Enough said.
Victoria and Tavia Hopkins- The daughters of Melinda Hopkins-Roth. Both equally enjoy following in their mother's footsteps and annoying Raven to no end, although Victoria has a natural ability for these things.
